Kawhi misses Wednesday shootaround practice

Kawhi Leonard missed practice for the second straight day as the Spurs went through their morning shootaround in preparation for tonight’s game against Chicago.

Gary Neal (hamstring strain), Manu Ginobili (strained oblique muscle) and Tiago Splitter (strained calf muscle) all took part in light practicing. Splitter was not wearing a brace on his right calf for his work.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said that Leonard likely would not play against the Bulls. But he said he hopes to be able to use reserve point guard T.J. Ford, who has missed the last 24 games with a torn muscle in his left hamstring, in Wednesday’s game.
